IMPRovnn HINGE Pon BLINns.

The Schedule referred to in theme 'Letters Patent and making part' cf the same To all whom it'ma/y concern.:

Jersey, have invented and made a certain new and useful Improvementin Blind-Fastenings; and I do hereby `declare the following to bea full,vclear, and exact description ofthe saidinvention, reference being had to the annexed drawing, makin g part of this speci iication, w-hereinf- Figure 1 is a plan of said fasteniugywith the blind closed; 4 p l `Figure 2 is a similar View, with the blind partly opened;` and f i f Figure?) is an elevation of the hinge and-fastening,

`in the position. that the parts assuinejust before the `hook drops, to'fasten the blind open;

Similar marks of referenceldenote the same parts.` This invention" consists ,ina hook, having itsfulcruinupon thel statiouaryportion ofthe blind-hinge, and supported by a pin that rests upon the` eye ofthe moving portion of thev hinge, in whiclreye is a notch that allows the hook to fall.' into a catchv on the swinging portion of thehinge, when the blind is open, and

thereby retain the same in that positioniuntil'the hook- `is lifted, `for allowing the` blind to be closed.

` In the `drawing-- d is the plate;

b, the arm; and l c, the vertical pin, forming the stationary.` portion ofthe blind-hinge, that is to be attached to the windowcasing d, as usual.

` e represents the' plate;

j, the arm; i and Beit known that I,W1LLIAM T. FRELIGH, of J er-v sey Gityain the county of Hudson, and State of New.

g, the reyeof 4the swinging portion of the hinge,that is to be attached to the blind h, in any usual manner, and these, parts. are to be of the desired size or proportion', ac'cordiug to the relativeppositions of the window-frame and the surface of the wall .or outsie of the building, against which the blind is to swing when opened. v

Yk is a hook, that is hinged, at i, to the arm b, or plate a, so as to swing on this hinge as a fulcrum.

l is a catch or eye, vupon the plate c, into which the hook 7a passes, to hold -the blind open when swung back, as' seen by dotted lines in fig. 1.

In order to make this hook kself-actingJ introduce the pin or projection 0,-that rests upon the npperedge of the eye g, and holds the end of the hook k sufiiciently high to allow the catch or eye l to swing under` it, and a notch, s, in this eye g, is so located that it allows the pin o and hook luto descend, when the blind is opened, so that the hookk lfalls into said eye Z.

This hook k is in a position that is accessible easily from the window, without having to reach out in the manner mostusnally resorted to.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- V The hinged' hook It', sustained bythe pin o upon the eyeg, butv allowed to drop and takethezcatch l, when the notch s comes below said pin o, as set forth.v

In witness whereof' I have hereunto set 1n si nature, this 25th day of January, A.v I). 1868.
